One of the bigger disappointments of Artisan to me is that Kroger dropped the "Northwest Style" name for the clothing department (introduced in the late days of the Northwest decor and used through the Banner years) in favor of the generic "Apparel". It's a small thing, but it was nice to have at least something to differentiate Fred Meyer from the generic world of Kroger, and now there's pretty much nothing to do that decor-wise.
Interestingly, Fred Meyer did leave in the dedicated checkouts for the clothing department this time (they often don't), and (less surprisingly) they forgot to replace the register lights. At least this time the old ones over here were unnumbered, so it's not as confusing as at some other stores!
